This paper takes a pedagogical perspective and tries to set an impulse towards more flexible educational scenarios. It deals with didactic approaches that support the transfer of knowledge caught between formal and informal learning. They are based on theories of constructivism and learner-centred learning and are designed to be realised through mobile learning technologies. The paper looks at possible scenarios from four different perspectives and includes examples from the classroom while also looking beyond formal education. Those scenarios are based on empirical research and studies carried out within a network of Austrian schools that introduced netbooks in their classroom teaching.
